is? It Will Soon be Time to ? i) Side Dress Your Crops. I Tim farmers of Anderson county . are going to do more top dressing 'H' this year than they have ever done. ;:i Top dressing or side dressing has 0 been on the increase in this comity J,',1 for the last few years and it has paid jv so well that nearly every progressive v farmer is going to do more or less of, s it this year. We hear of one man:" who put in very little fertilizer last ^ year before planting his crop. 11c!? side dressed liberally and made 70 t bales of cotton on (j<? acres of ground, j ? That is the kind of farming that v n u pays. Farming is a poor business * I t' when you work two ami throe acres l to make a bale of cotton but it is a { very profitable business when you ' can make :i bale of cotton or more to < the acre. We have about four thou- ,1 sand tons of handsome high grade J ammoniated {foods suitable for ;>ide[1 dressing. It will take more than this L for the farmers of Anderson county if V they use it as liberally as they will f find it profitable to do, and then, we < are selling this fertilizer in Abbeville, i Greenwood, Greenville, Pickens and J Oconee counties. The farmers in * these counties do not side dress to the i extent that farmers in Anderson i county side dress, but they are com- \ ing to it and will do more of it than * ever this year as they are finding out > that it is very profitable. When the J fertilizer is putin the ground before \ tiirwrmi is nlnnted or even when it is planted, the spring1 ruins conic along j before the plant germinates and takes root, and the fertilizer goes down in the ground so fast that the root of the plant cannot catch much of it; it has , too long a lead. When you wait un- ' til the cotton comes up and is thinned to a stand and worked out and then ; side dress it with first-class high 1 grade ammoniated goods such as we manufacture, the roots of the plant are just surrounded with food and 1 nourishment fur the plant. Every ( particle of the fertilizer used in the < side dressing goes to the growing crop; that is the object of fertilizing, you want the growing crop to get the fertilizer. You will see the effect of this in the growing and in the gathering. The man who side dresses liberally is the man who is going to have the brag crop ; you can put that down. It may l>e that you cannot side dress your whole crop but you ! can side dress a good part of it and that will enable you to see whether it pays or not. We are manufacturing a specially handsome goods this } year for side dressing which we call "Vandiver's Side Dresser," analyz- < ing 8-0-6 and we recommend it to ] you with absolute confidence. We i certainly would not put our name on it if we did not feel that it would prove satisfactory to all who use it. It is the best grade of goods that has mmr. luwn inoniiftiiifnrDf] ill tlili fnilll. UVXl UUK ll lUailUUiVVUl VVl AAA VlilV VVUM try, it analyzes higher and we confidently believe it will give better re- , suits than anything you have ever tried in the way of ammoniated fertilizer. It is the best goods because it is made of the best material, the best acid phosphate, the best blood, tankage and garbage and the most of v it to the ton. There is a great difference in ammoniated goods. The ammoniates are the expensive parts of fertilizers. That is where fertilizers are skimped when they are skimped, but they are not all skimped. There are otlier fertilizer manufacturers who make very good goods, but we 1 are not advertising them at the present writing. We are advertising our own goods and there is nothing better and mighty little as good. They are all right because we put the ingref. dients; blood, tankage, etc., in them to make them all right. We will have quite a lot of Nitrate of Soda 011 hand too, for side dressing, and just in passing, will say that we understand it pays as well to side dress corn as it does any crop you grow. The corn contest this year promises to be very interesting. A great many farmers will contest for the prizes. The man who wins "will be a man who fertilizes heavily. The corn that wins will be acorn that has been side dressed, and probably more than once. You will not stand the ghost of a chance of winning any of the prizes unless you fertilize heavily and side dress also. I11 the old blue-back spelling book which we ail thumbed in pursuit of that knowledge which seems to have eluded the most of us we find the doctrine laid down that "the best is the cheapest." If that doctrine applies to spelling books, and we suppose it does, at least we are not going to stop to contest or discuss that question now, we are selling fertilizer now, not spelling books; if that doctrine applies to spelling books it certainly applies to fertilizers. If a ftjJUlllIlg UUIJK lb HUilK 111 UtriliUll I points and you find it out you can discard it and get another. If your I fertilizer turns out to be weak you * will find that out all right enouirh * and you will discard it and get an- 1 other, but the trouble is you have : lost your crop and a year's "work and every hand and mule on your place has lost a year's work before you find it out. The only thing you will carry over from that year will be the * year's debts. So, it will pay you to 1 get a good fertilizer at the start, one f that is shown on analysis to be all ' that a fertilizer should be and in this ' connection we call your attention to . ?>.>,!<> ..t t \vl 1 IIJU auaiJ or."? llllUIV' CU V IVJII.-WU V V?|- -J lege this year.

A C Wllkins, W. B. Acker, Committee. The Wisest Mother Way. In many a newspaper article we oie expressions of sympathy for the 'Pale, sad faced mothers of our nation, mothers overburdeued with responsibility and care." Truly ?nougli , the wisest of mothers realizes her God-given obligations lu Iici lauiuji wujic uLiaiciuai IUVC makes every possible sacrifice for tlieir welfare. But after all, are not the mothers of today in a great measure responsible for the extravagant ideas fostered by our laughters? Yes, and the reckless, ; unstable lives of our sons, also! We do not believe "the hand that : "ocks the cradle rules the world" , ilone, by any means. But it is the mother's ideas of living that mould , he daughter's character for time uid eternity. Find me a care-worn mother?I mean as a rule?a woman prematurey old, and in tbat home I will find rou daughters accomplished iu up-tolate lore but with minds dwarfed n regard to the vital elements of rue living. There is but one thing leedful iu this mother's estimation, ind she has grown old over the jerplexing problem of pushiug her jhildren into the front rauk of iociety. And what of all the sham and puff? Who is the happier for it? Fbe thoughtful face of the father -ays, "Not I," and the expresnion jf anxiety marking the old-young mother's features plainly shows the mdercurrent of unrest. And what jf the future of these girls? Not all )f them will marry wealthy meo, n spite of their mother's efforts. We have met young wives reared n such homes, and found it ban! o believe that the haggard, careless looking woman was once a society jelle. But she had entered h?r liushand's home ignorant of household duties aud cares, frivolous and . are-free. How could she assume such responsibility, in such contrast to ill her past life? The breaking-in process must be?iu early, or serious results will follow. Not ti'l the motherhood of America can be brought to see tbat happiness for their daughters consists in the realities rather than the <h:uns of life will they be otherwise than "care-worn, sad-faced ind wrinkled." A Senseless Habit. The young lady that habitually U9es ilang iu her conversation cannot have x veiy exuiiru opinion 01 uerseii. me jstimate placed upon her by those who lear her ls certainly not a high one. It sounds coarse and vulgar wheu used by a mau, but when used by a woman is tone is degrading and repulsive, low often one heais a young lady peak of children as "kids.'' That ivord comes from the slang of English hieves. Not exactly a proper word or a lady's use is it? "Mash" is ar>ther word in common use by young adies of both high and low degree. I'iie word originates in the immoral elation sustained by a thief and his liixtie-s. It is essentially foul, and vhen issuing from the lips of intio:ence and purity gives a starlling hock. Even thieves, toughs, and lisreputables, of either sex, who know * he whole vocabulary of slang, seldom, j f ever, u-e a single word ot it in the J tresence of honest people. Slang, in English, has but two sources?thieves nd showmen; and any young person vho imitates those classes, either in onduct or converscation is plentifully ndowed with a lack of senee.?Lees- ' 'ille News. t .rg jip.Miin-iiw t+itnmtmm frSteai n "Leaf is the ere j supply one-tenth of t i Here is a frank < [I nine-tenths of the pe | lard that is even saf r? getting purity .wher | chances on a hog-fat ful cleanliness.

"Nature's G BBWHBBn SATISFACTORY DECREASING. Whiskey Receipts at Anderson. (From The Daily Mail.) Practically no whiskey is received in Anderson by freight. What is received here is handled by the express company. Immediately after the dispensary was closed here there were open salons in Augusta and Atlanta and a great deal of whiskey came from these places. But when Georgia went dry the whiskey shipments iu Andersen fell off 41 per cent. This is the statement made to us by Mr.L. R Whitlow, the local agent of the Southern Express company, and he msde the statement only after careful examination of his books. \ir K ^ noAnlo YV LlCli utuigia ncui ui j mv had to order their whiskey from North Carolina. When North Carolina went dry, Mr. Whitlow says, the whiskey shipments fell off 8 per cent more. ""This is what Mr. Whitlow's books show. The whiskey is now coming from Tennessee, but that state will go dry in July, and then the people will have to get their liquor somewhere else. Mr. Whitlow says he looks for a still futher decrease then, as experience has shown that the further away the source of supply, the longer the time it takes to get it, the less whiskey is bought by the people. Rome whiskey is still being shipped into Anderson, but the amount is steadily decreasing. Tbe bonks of the express company show that 49 per cent less was received during the first three months of 1909 than during the corresponding period of 1907. That is doing pretty well, isn't it? rmTDAi Vkn nnhi We sure are having some hot weather at the present time. Mr. J. H. Green spent the night with Mr. Joe Ashley Saturday. Mr. J. H.

Trifliug discourtesies of speech ami manners constantly indulged do more to destroy the peace of a household than an occasional war of words which lasts for a brief period and is then at an end. Chief among the causes to create a murky home atm< sphere is the habit, of "nagging*' one another. Husband and wives give expression to every petty feeling of irritation, ar.d bandy words back and forth till some molehill assumes the proportions ofa mountain. A tendency to.naggoes unchecked among the children and almost and before the parents are aware there is a chronic condition of unpleasantness in the home. Young married people, ?specially, need to learn control id thin direction. Another disagreeable trait to be guarded against is the habit, peculiar to some people, of always being ou the opposite side of a question.

' r??lia8B Jules Siuvestvo was soon to marry Mile. Ladounor, one of the most beautiful and refined g'.rls in Lyons. One night at cafe cbaniant ho rebuked Achilla Emaux, a professional duelist, for Interrupting a singer and publicly derided him aa a cad and a revilor of ladies. A duel was instantly arranged to take place next morning. Mile. Ladouner was in the theater with her uncle and witnessed the incident. Jules, whom she loved with he? whole heart and eoul, would be a corpse before another day had passed! That waa the one thought that filled her brain, and for a time in her distress and agony she was almost demented. But by degrees she forced herself to be calm. At whatever cost her lover must bo saved. Half an hour before midnight, when her mother had retired, she quietly stole out and made her way as furtively as a thief to Emanz's residenca He bad not returned, and 6he was obliged to wait. It was nearly 1 o'clock when the bravo came In, humming a funeral inarch, as was his custom on the eve of a duel. ^ "Good evening, mademoiselle," he said asshorose on his entrance. "This is an ' unexpected pleasure, though I regret to say I do not recogDize you, and my man did not catch your name. Pray be seated, mademoiselle, and tell me what I can do for you." ' Sho obeyed, and ho seated himself opposite bor. She was trembling and quivering, and her throat was so dry that she could scarcely speak. But at the sight of him sitting there, gay, careless and smiling. and rot to be in a fe<* hours the butchor of her beloved, a tempest of pagsion shook her, aDd her tongue was loosed. "Monsieur," sho cried, rising again, "you are Infamous, a boast?nay. chat is . an insult to the poor beasts! I loathe you! You defile tbo earth 1 Pah! you 6mell of blood! Even a beast is merciful at times, but you?you?you"? Eiuaux was utterly taken by surprise, but he still preserved an unruffled front. "Mademoiselle," ho said, "you are very good to come at this hour to pay me compliments. What have I done to deserve them?" "Done!" aha oried. "What are you about to do, houndf Jules Souvestre la my betrothed, and you insult and intend to murder him. It shall not be, I say. See, I will fight you in his stead. Get pistols, And toa will Rtnnd on either side the room. I have Insulted you. I insult you again. You are viler than any living creature. Come!" , A steely glitter came in his eyes, but h? still smiled. \ "I am truly sorry for you, mademoiselle. But that dog insulted me publicly, and? well, we fight at dawn." "Instilted you? He could not, monsieur. But you shall fight me. Qet pistols at once, if you are not a coward." , He still smiled. "I do not fight women, mademoiselle?I love them. I am truly sorry, but unless you can persuade him to an apology as public as the insult there is nothing more to be said. It is late, mademoiselle. I will see you out." 1 ''You shall fight me, ruffian 1" ' He shook his head, with an amused sinilo. "Mademoiselle's best weapon it her tongue, and that fortunately does not kUl." She looked at him with terrified eyes. "Do you mean to kill him, monsieur?" "Yes," he said curtly. She fell back into the chair with a strangled cry, horror in her eyes. For a moment she sat thus, then she flung herself on her knees at his feet. "Monsieur," she cried, "have pity, Via-on nlt-.wl T Irnm him MnnfriflTTP. von will kill both of us I Pity, pity 1" she gasped. "Rise, mademoiselle, I bog of yon," he said. "You have just told me I have no pity." "Have you no heart, monsieur?" ahe moaned. "None when a man has publicly insulted me. And," he went on In aoynioal tone, "who knows but I may do mademoiselle a favor. Men swear their vows as lovers, but they soon forget them. I may possibly save mademoiselle from life of misery."
